Laser Skin Tightening Vs Tummy Tuck?

Laser treatments claim to offer non-surgical skin tightening however the effect is very minimal.  It would be helpful to see pictures of your tummy, but I suspect a tummy tuck would be the best way to proceed.  It tightens the skin, muscle and removes the unwanted skin and fat.  The scar of a tummy tuck is the biggest draw back that patients are concerned about.  However, with the new techniques such as drain-free tummy tuck, we are now able to keep the scars super low and well hidden.

You would need to see a qualified plastic surgeon for an opinion based on examination but the general rule is that laser skin tightening has much more minimal results especially after pregnancy. My advice is do not make a decision until you see a plastic surgeon.

In the vast majority of patients, a tummy tuck gives much better results than any laser, or other energy treatment. It is typically done after you are no longer considering have more children.For a more complete opinion, see a Board Certified plastic surgeon.
